Life is an unfinished symphony. God holds the score in His Hands. Sometimes my life is a cymbal crash, and sometimes it is pages of counting rests. But always, He is the Conductor. (...and I hear the Coda He's written is out of this world!)

Hi Deb and Tira! I am much better, I took all my med-sun like a good boy and now I am back to my rolly-polly self. Momma has boxes everywhere and she keeps talking about a new church. I hope they likes cats there. If not, Mel and I will have a cat-boycott and form a union.hey Deb.I read some of LaCugna's stuff for a class at Hogwarts South.Not bad reads.It is hot here and too hot to be trying to move. Loading and unloading boxes is so awful.I am drinking more water, limeade, etc...and so everywhere i go, my first ? is,....Where's your restroom?"

Quotes that give me hope!

“A female must encounter, on all sides, an inveterate prejudice, founded on a misconstruction of the scriptures.” (pp. 63-64).from the autobiography ofEllen Brown Hickox Stewart,my thrice-great-grandmother.

"This is beautiful work--simple, genuine, redemptive. It shouldn't seem radical... but it is. It shouldn't even be necessary to say 'men and women are equal...' but it is. Hopefully, in another ten years, the saints of CBE will end gender inequality and put themselves out of jobs. Until then, may we all live in discomfort amid a booming choir of white men, while the church is pregnant with women who are ready to lead and write and preach but still get funny looks or cold shoulders."

Quotable and Keepable

Arise then...women of this day! Arise, all women who have hearts! Whether your baptism be of water or of tears! Say firmly:"We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies, our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."
